In the kitchen

  1. 1 just your cup of tea

    if you're making just one cup of tea or coffee only boil the amount of water you need – it'll save time, energy and money!





  2. 2 ping!

    why not switch your microwave off at the plug socket after you've used it – it takes more energy to power the display clock than the oven.

  3. 3 toast of the town

    help save the world before breakfast! Use a toaster rather than the grill to make toast - it uses less energy.







  4. 4 put a lid on it

    simply by covering your pans you can reduce the amount of energy it takes to cook your food by 90%

  5. 5 be canny

    the energy saved by recycling one alluminium drinks can is enough to run a tv for three hours.
